Information structure in a formal description of language as reflected in an annotated corpus of Czech

Abstract

A brief comparison of the theoretical approach to the information structure in the Meaning-Text Theory (MTT) and in the Functional Generative Description (FGD) is followed by an account of the treatment of the given phenomenon in an annotated corpus of running texts. The FGD approach is documented by several case studies demonstrating how an annotated corpus helps to verify and to define with more precision linguistic hypotheses.
